Video (Rocket Feed);

[Those viewing the Rocket feed are sure to see this burly brute dressed in a bright red suit! He's grinning fiendishly with a sack in hand, and he clears his throat before he begins.]

Listen up! I'm unleashing a sinister scheme that's sure to make this one Christmas this city will never forget! I've got a gig set up at the Department Store to act like a jolly, old fatso with a beard. The catch? Stealing loot and Pokémon from the pipsqueaks that come crawling my way. And any other morons around.

But don't think I'm stopping there. No, I've got bigger plans! Wrecker, Boo, if you please...

[In the background, a vine hoists up a plate of delightful looking Christmas cookies, while a second plate floats seemingly all by itself.]

Looks pretty harmless, but there's a catch! Each one of these suckers has been loaded with Toxic and Poison Powder, making them one heckuva snack. It'll leave any idiot that eats 'em in bed for days, if not longer! So if you see little stands run by my minions in elf suits, don't eat 'em if you know what's good for ya.

[He chuckles and points a finger at the screen.]

So why am I telling you all this? Easy! Because I'm looking for people to help set up shop. To run some of the stands and ship out the goods to the other cities for good measure. And if you've got any doubts, think of it this way; it's not every day you get the honor of working with the epitome of villainy! Gwa ha ha ha!

[Those browsing the network will see an anonymous text message pop up on their devices, courtesy of a certain moron's less moronic Hypno.]

Ho ho ho!

Santa Claus has come to town, so come on people, gather 'round. Visit the Goldenrod Department Store for joy, love, and presents galore! Here for a limited time, so don't miss out! See what the fuss is all about. Bring your friends, bring your families, bring your Pokémon, too. It's fun for you and you, and YOU!

Not in town but looking for cheer? Don't feel sad, never fear! We have fresh holiday treats for you to share. For pickup, air mail, we don't even care! Our home baked goods are a North Pole fav. And with our free samples, think of the money you'll save!

And now that this rhyming's outta the way, leave all cookie orders here and have a good day!

[Those in Goldenrod City are sure to find something interesting. No matter where they look, there are stands littering the street lined with plates of fresh, Christmas cookies with a sign that reads "FREE SAMPLES". For those who would like to buy a whole batch, they will find that the price is quite cheap-- P300! That's only a little more than a Rage Candy Bar!

Some of the stands are manned by Pokémon in elf, snowman, and Reindeer suits. These include one adorable little Squirtle, a Magmar, a Larvitar, an Ivysaur, a Magcargo, and a Tirtouga, just to name a few.

Inside the Department Store, however, lies an even stranger sight-- Department Store Santa Claus, complete with the bushy beared, the suit with all the bells and whistles, a rather comfortable looking chair, gift sack, and more Pokémon in cute little costumes. ...Including a Hypno, Granbull, Gible, and Machoke. These Pokémon seem harmless enough, leading kids and other visitors towards the big guy himself and occasionally handing out gift boxes.

What those with a less watchful eye may not realize is that they're being watched constantly. Not only by the Hypno, but by something else. Something unseen... something making a grab for those Pokéballs you may or may not have.]

[ooc: And Bowser plot begins now! For info, look here. Please let me know if you're okay with him stealing. I'd rather not have him found out right away. Also note that the cookies are poisoned with either Poison Powder or Toxic.

For the text portion, all replies will be anonymous! This is a good chance for characters outside of Goldenrod to get involved in the cookie plot. ;)

Enjoy!]

[...Good. A customer.

Tremor nods, holding up one of the samples. Despite the poison inside, it should taste just fine, and how soon the effects kick in is up in the air. Perhaps instantly, perhaps not until it reaches the stomach.

Either way, he doesn't really care. He's carrying out this boring task for his trainer and that alone.]

[Misaki took the cookie from the Larvitar.] Thanks.

[The girl was about to take a bite out of the cookie until the Tranquill decided to abruptly take the poisoned treat out of Misaki's hands. Misaki fumed as the bird recklessly ate the cookie.]

Madoka, what the hell. I would've bought you and the others a whole bunch of cookies anyway!

[Won't be long until the poison kicks in.]

[No, no, no, no, no! Tremor gasps, his eyes wide in horror, and he nearly stumbles out of his chair!

Those cookies are for trainers, not Pokémon! Oh. Oh, what the heck is he supposed to do? Biting his lip, he looks down at the plate, then up at the girl and the bird...

Aha! He'll just have to offer another. If nothing else, maybe the dumb bird's allergic to one of the ingredients. That'd make a great cover!

So, yes, he's holding up another cookie with a tiny little smile.]

[The Larvitar's second offering diverted Misaki's attention towards the green pokemon. She made a confused look as she took the other cookie.] Um...thanks, I guess.

[She was about to take a bite out of the treat until she hears a noise coming nearby. She looked towards Madoka's direction and noticed the bird was coughing out the cookie that it had eaten. Misaki didn't think anything was wrong with her until the pokemon collapsed.]

MADOKA!! [She hurried over to the Tranquill, dropping the cookie.]

Graaaa!

[Tremor squeaks and shuffles for something, anything to try and avert her attention. If only he had psychic powers like Snoreceror. That'd do the trick.

Um.

...uh.

Deep breaths. He's not supposed to be this frantic, darn it. He's a stone-cold fighter, for crying out loud!

Once he does manage to compose himself, Tremor takes a stick and etches the word "allergic?" in the snow. There.]

[As she held the poisoned bird in her arms, she noticed the little rock monster etching out a word in the snow. She took a closer look at the word and saw it read out 'allergic'.]

[Misaki might've stopped to consider that if it wasn't for the fact that when it comes to any danger to Madoka, she acts before she thinks.]

You.. [She returns Madoka ball to her ball before taking out another one. She was giving the Larvitar an icy stare.] You did something to the cookies, didn't you?

[...Drat. A battle was far from what he wanted. Rather than flip, though, Tremor stands his ground and shakes his head. It's not entirely a lie anyway. He wasn't the one Bowser taught Toxic. He's merely a distributor.

Perhaps if he approaches the situation calmly, he can weasel his way out of it. If not, he's more than happy to whip up a Sandstorm and some Stealth Rocks before seeking out the others as backup.]

[...She wasn't going to take a simple no for an answer.]

Then who did?! Don't even try to bullshit me!

[At this point, she sent out Wani from his ball. The large Feraligatr was standing beside her, looking towards the green pokemon with a toothy grin on its face, wanting to battle the little guy already. Of course, he couldn't until his trainer gave the order.]

[Misaki only sent him out in case the little pokemon tried something and possibly for intimidation. Being a huge, towering crocodile brute had some perks.]

[If only he were a Tyranitar. Then he'd revel at the challenge provided by the type disadvantage. As it is, he's got a quadruple weakness and, at his level, it'd be stupid to actually fight that brute.

No, the best course of action would be to find Lockjaw. Perhaps Iron Fist... Maybe even Smasher.

Once again, Tremor shakes his head and shrugs. Maybe it was a problem on the assembly line.

If his cool front doesn't work, he'll whip up that sandstorm and high tail it towards the store.]

[...Either Misaki wasn't falling for the cool front or she forgot pokemon can't just talk like normal people.]

[She gave a pat on Wani's arm, signalling him it was ok to attack Tremor. Noticing the pat, he fired a water gun towards the Larvitar.

He seemed to be too giddy...]

[It's a good thing Tremor's small and has a table and chairs to shield himself. When the water comes flying his way, he dives behind the chair, whipping up a Sandstorm as he makes his descent.

With the sand in place, he turns towards the Department Store. So what if he's abandoning his post? So what if the cookies get sand on them? He doesn't care about the dumb things!

What he does care about is giving this girl a well-deserved beat down.]

[Both the girl and the Feraligatr let out a yelp as the sandstorm took in place. This was not she had expected from the small rock monster thing.]

[Assuming Tremor was about to make an attempt to escape, she took out another one of her pokeballs and threw it into the larvitar's direction. A shuppet came out of a ball and while the sandstorm was affecting its vision, it attempted to use a Faint Attack behind its back.]

[The attack hits, prompting a hiss out of Tremor. It's not a super effective move, at least, and he promptly retaliates with Bite! That attack hurt, you dumb ghost!

Oh, but he's not gonna stop there. As he scrambles for the Department Store doors, he unleashes a Rock Slide in the direction of Misaki and Wani. More distractions! That store has to be close by now.]

[Even if Kizu was probably at a way higher level, that Bite nearly knocked out the shuppet. Not wanting to be risk possibly running into anymore trouble, it fires a Will O Wisp flame from its horn and sends it towards the escaping larvitar before returning back to its trainer. Hopefully it hits.]

[In the mean time, Wani seemed to get over the sand in its eyes and notices the Rock Slide coming into their direction. Thinking quickly, he grabbed Misaki by her coat in his mouth and ran away from the direction of the Rock Slide and towards to where the ghost was. Since the sandstorm was still happening, it took a small while before reaching Kizu.]

[A burn?! Oh, this isn't good. Not good at all. Oh, that wretched ghost and wretched girl and wretched reptile will pay.

But first, he's gonna shove the door open and stumble inside, flailing his arms and growling as he looks around for his teammates.

Given the people passing through, shopping for the season, that's easier said than done. Fortunately, a certain Hypno catches wind of his presence and emerges from the crowd.

The two exchange glances. There's probably some telepathic communication going on.

Shaking his head, Snorceror cloaks himself with a Magic Coat and stands ready near the doorway. Yes, he's in a similarly tacky costume. Thankfully, it's not his standard wizard attire.

Not that being dressed as an elf is much better.

Oh, and a Granbull with reindeer horns soon joins him. He's got a broad, toothy grin on his mug and his fists tightly clenched. The promise of a fight sounds too good to be true!]

[Wani set the girl down besides the ghost as the Sandstorm seemed to start settling down. She slowly opened her eyes as the shuppet floated closer to its trainer. She gently held the ghost by its head, checking to make sure it was alright.]

Kizu, are you alright? [This was the most caring she's been to the shuppet so it was a bit of a surprise.Kizu winces when Misaki touched the place where that rock monster bit the poor ghost.]

[Misaki checks the spot and gasps when she notices a horrid bite mark on its cloak-like body; worst scenario was that it might leave a scar after it heals.]

[Another mishap caused by Misaki's recklessness.]

[Misaki let out a regretful sigh as she returned the shuppet back into the pokeball. Any desire to chase after that wretched rock monster has left the building. Wani, on the other hand, wanted to go mess that Larvitar up for hurting his bro in the first place. While both he and Misaki wanted to, the girl believes that isn't the wisest thing at the moment.]

[She gave a pat on the Feraligatr's growling snout.]

I know you want to go after them but we have to take Kizu and Madoka to the Pokecenter first.. [Chills ran down her back when she mentioned that but she shrugged them off.] We'll deal with him later.

[Wani let out a grumble before reluctantly accepting his trainer's command. It got down on all fours so Misaki was able to get on top of the Feraligatr's back before heading over to the Pokecenter.]
